Belong have done an interesting study around the communities that saw a coordinated community response during Covid-19 and how this provides lessons to support what is needed in terms of community recovery.

Hanging Stones Lane access questionnaire by May 9th
Do you use Hanging Stones Lane? Your evidence could help improve access
Hanging Stones Lane in Ripponden is a key access route to the former railway line that we want to see upgraded to become the Ryburn Valley Greenway Trail. If you’re a regular user of the lane, your evidence could help make the case for it to become a restricted byway – meaning it can officially be used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
The lane is currently a footpath but local horse riders have submitted historical evidence to Calderdale MBC and requested that the lane be upgraded to officially allow riding and cycling.
As part of this process, Calderdale Council now wants to know how people use Hanging Stones Lane to see if it is correctly categorised. If you walk, cycle or ride the lane or have done in the past, your experience is needed. There’s a short form to fill in that gathers your evidence and views – and we’d encourage everyone who enjoys the lane to take part in this exercise.
Completed forms should be emailed to robin.carr1@btinternet.com by Sunday 9th May.

Can you step out for ten minutes every lunch time?
Stepping out of your front door even for a short walk can really boost your physical and mental health, so that’s why we challenge you to Step Out for ten minutes every lunch time this month.
To keep it fresh, we’ve also got a different suggestion each day for things you can do while you’re walking to give your wellbeing an extra boost!

Living Streets walk to school week 17-21 May 2021
Living Streets are having their Annual Walk to School week, encouraging all to make their way to school on foot.
May is the month of walking and there are many health benefits from walking, even for 10-20 minutes daily.
It is recommended that children of school age have at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Walking to school will already set them on their way to achieve this goal and will help parents and carers with their fitness too!
For more information or to order a walk to school pack, visit here:

It’s National Gardening Week, 26 April – 2 May
Be at one with nature and get yourself some green fingers. Over the last year, we’ve come to rely on our gardens and green spaces more than ever. Many of us have rediscovered the importance of connecting with nature for our mental and physical wellbeing and for National Gardening Week in 2021, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) are celebrating the feel-good power of plants and gardens, highlighting the scientific links between gardening and wellbeing and sharing easy tips.
For lots more tips, advice and to find out how gardening activities can boost your personal wellbeing, visit the RHS website.
How to garden without a garden in North Halifax
If you don’t have a garden but would still like to cultivate those green fingers, the Gardeners World website has 10 tips on how to garden without a garden. You can also sign up to the Gardeners World email bulletin for a daily dose of gardening inspiration. The Paddock in Ovenden is a community garden, get in touch with Joan and Lynne and get growing with them, or just go along and have a chat.
There are self-managed and council owned allotments or options to grow on council land. The Todmorden’s Incredible Edible and RHS community garden sites have lots of hints and inspiration and explains the benefits of community gardening for both people and places. If you’re a Together Housing resident you can even win prizes in their Garden Competition.
